Safety directions
− Please follow all safety directions and instructions
found in both these Instructions for Use and in all
other sets of instructions supplied with the e-Bike.
→Not following these safety directions and instruc-
tions can lead to electric shocks, fires and/or seve-
re injuries.
− Keep these Instructions for Use safe for future refe-
rence.
− The term “battery pack” used in these Instructions for
Use equally relates to downtube-mounted battery
packs, rack-mounted battery packs and frame-integ-
rated battery packs.
− Never open the drive unit. It is maintenance-free and
may only be repaired by qualified experts using only
original spare parts.
→This ensures the safety of the drive unit. All war-
ranty claims are invalidated if the drive unit has
been opened without authorization.
− All components forming part of the e-Bike System
and parts fitted to the drive unit (e.g. chain ring,
mounting of chain ring, pedals) may be replaced only
by components approved by the manufacturer of the
e-Bike.
→This protects the drive unit from damage(e.g. due
to overloading).
− Remove the battery pack(26) from the e-Bike before
working on it(e.g. when fitting, servicing or working
on the chain etc.), transporting it or placing it in sto-
rage.
→There is a risk of injury if the e-Bike System is acti-
vated by mistake.
− The push-assist may only be used when the e-Bike is
pushed.
→There is a risk of injury if the wheels of the e-Bike
are not in contact with the ground when the push-
assist is used.
− Do not make any alterations at all to your e-Bike Sys-
tem. On no account attempt to improve the perfor-
mance of your e-Bike System.
→If you do so, you will shorten the service life of its
components and run the risk of damaging both the
e-Bike System and the e-Bike itself. Furthermore,
the warranty and any warranty claims will be invali-
dated if there has been any type of manipulation of
the e-Bike System. Incorrect handling of the e-Bike
System also endangers both your own health and
that of other road users. By making your own alte-
rations to the e-Bike System, you run the risk
of high personal liability costs or even criminal
prosecution in the event of accidents due to
manipulation.
− Please follow all national regulations relating to the
licensing and use of e-Bikes.
− Please read and follow the safety directions and inst-
ructions in the Instructions for Use of the battery
pack (26) and in the Instructions for Use of your
e-Bike.
Use for the intended purpose
The drive unit is intended solely for powering your
e-Bike and may not be used for any other purposes.

Operation
For information on operating the Brose e-Bike System,
please refer to the section on the display and control
unit(see „Display and control unit“ on page10).
N.B.: The Brose e-Bike System only operates when the
display unit(1) has been inserted.
Cycling instructions and tips
When does the e-Bike drive operate?
The Brose e-Bike System permits electric motor assis-
tance of the cyclist in a Pedal Electric Cycle(PEDELEC).
This assistance depends on the force applied to the
pedals by the cyclist. Assistance by the e-Bike drive is
therefore only provided when the cyclist is pedaling.
This applies regardless of the assist level.
The e-Bike drive switches off automatically at speeds of
more than 25km/h. If the speed drops below 25km/h,
the assist switches back on automatically.
An exception to this is the push-assist function, in
which the e-Bike can be pushed more comfortably at
low speed without pedaling. When the push-assist is
used, the pedals can also turn.
You can also use the e-Bike at any time like a normal
bike, without assistance, either by switching off the
e-Bike System or setting the assist level to “OFF”(see
„Setting the assist level“ on page 12). The same ap-
plies when the battery pack(26) is flat.
